16 Weeks
So, we basically just skipped over week 15 and are now at week 16.
Babycenter.com, ever the fan of comparing my child to fruit, says that the baby is about the size of an avocado now. In the next three weeks, the baby will double his/her weight and add inches to his/her length.
Because I worry about the baby getting bored in there with nothing to do, I'm happy to read that he/she may be playing with the umbilical cord and practicing breathing by inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid.
I also read that I may be feeling ligaments stretching to make room for all this growth. That's definitely true. I have been feeling that. It is mildly unpleasant but it is also sort of reassuring because it reminds me that the baby is growing and just needs more room.
